Whistles and drums roll 🥁🎺 Ladies and Gentlemen, buckle up because our beloved superstars Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth are dusting off their old camaraderie and revving up for a reunion. Yes, you heard it right! After a long, long, (and did I mention long?) gap of 38 years, these two are stepping back on the silver screen together in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming film ‘Coolie’. A round of applause, please! 👏👏👏
Now, now, before anyone jumps the gun and starts spinning tales about their alleged fallout, let me give you the inside scoop straight from the horse’s mouth. Our dear Sathyaraj has finally spilled the beans on why he gave a miss to Rajinikanth’s ‘Sivaji’ (2007) and ‘Enthiran’ (2010). Contrary to the grapevine, it wasn’t some petty personal squabble but his dissatisfaction with the roles offered. He quipped, “After I became a hero, they wanted me to play Danny Denzongpa’s role in two Rajinikanth films. But the roles didn’t quite tickle my fancy. Otherwise, we’re as thick as thieves!” 😁
Back in the 90s, when bell-bottoms were in vogue, Sathyaraj’s political stance had the rumour mill churning out stories of a feud between these two actors. Even amidst the Hogenakkal Falls water kerfuffle in the early 2000s, Sathyaraj’s statements were taken as a jibe at Rajinikanth. But folks, let’s not forget that Sathyaraj never threw shade at Rajinikanth and even lauded his superstar aura. By 2013, Sathyaraj’s voice on Tamilian nationalism had mellowed, helping to douse the rumours. Phew! 😅
We’re all on tenterhooks to see Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth share the screen space in ‘Coolie’. While Sathyaraj has confirmed his participation during the promotions of ‘Malai Pidikatha Manithan’, the details about his role are still a secret. But we’re all agog to see what this reunion holds! With ‘Coolie’ being Rajinikanth’s 171st film, and hints of a plot centred around gold smuggling, the anticipation is sky-high! 🤩
But wait, there’s more! Our multi-talented Sathyaraj is rumoured to be part of AR Murugadoss’ ‘Sikander’, starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. He’s also scheduled to grace us with his versatile acting skills in Vasanth Ravi’s ‘Weapon’, releasing on June 7. So keep your popcorn at the ready, folks! 🍿
Moral of the Story: In Bollywood, rumours are like confetti at a wedding. They’re everywhere, and while they add a bit of colour, they’re mostly just a mess to clean up! But hey, where’s the fun without a little gossip, right? 😏
